No, Frankie Boyle comes up with new jokes now and again instead of rhyming off the same stuff. :)

Yep. Not denying that. I dont like the car either, but we have an E89 so in Skelters book my opinion probably means nothing.
Jokes are great right up until you have heard them a dozen times and then they are just boring and unfunny.
Its a bit like words and phrases that you hear or read like "its not an M" "it feels like an event" "its a GT car"
The first time you read these its fine but after that its just people repeating what others have said, possibly from Top Gear etc. and is boring.
:D

Or "its a drivers car"
Should probably start a thread for all these phrases and people can add their own. :)

Another very cheap M40i here - https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... 6149009278

£37,770 with under 4k miles on the clock and fitted with Tech & Comfort packs - so almost £15k depreciation :o
